CORRECTIONS/PRISONERS: Authorizes the city of Zachary to use certain inmates to cut grass in certain cemeteries
This bill authorizes the city of Zachary to employ inmates from the Dixon Correctional Institute to cut grass and maintain abandoned cemeteries. The legislation allows the city to use inmate labor specifically to address public health and safety risks associated with neglected burial grounds. Funds appropriated by the state legislature for cemetery maintenance can be used to pay for this inmate labor. The arrangement requires consultation with the state correctional division and must comply with existing laws governing the use of prisoner labor.
